Rangers drew 0-0 with Celtic last Saturday prior to the winter break.

Clint Hill has claimed on Twitter that former side Rangers deserved more than a point against Old Firm rivals Celtic following Saturday’s 0-0 draw on Parkhead.

Brendan Rodgers’ side were expected to complete an easy victory over the Gers, but were held to a point by Graeme Murty’s side as Wes Foderingham produced a number of marvellous saves, while Scott Sinclair was significantly wasteful.

The Light Blues had huge chances of their own, though. Alfredo Morelos should have scored twice, after inch-perfect crosses were not met with equal quality from the Colombian.

The draw was the second time Rangers have prevented Celtic from taking all three points in Old Firm clashes in eight matches since the Gers gained promotion back to the top flight, but Hill believes his old side deserved more.

The only other time Rangers have prevented Celtic from victory was under Murty in March 2017, as Hill himself scored in the dying moments from close range to earn a 1-1 draw after Stuart Armstrong had given Celtic the lead.

Rangers are more than a fortnight away from returning to competitive action, but are set to fly out to Florida to face Brazilian sides Atletico Mineiro and Corinthians on January 12 and 13.
